Artist's Statement

Denis Wogan

For these past few years I have been working in both abstract and representational imagery, an important transition away from many years of creating solely representational paintings.

In my current work, I am exploring the relationships between color and emotion. And, in addition, using temperature as a means to express atmosphere, spirit, and movement.

I am also investigating the manipulation of shapes and lines to convey direction, distance, and emotion while not specifically representing any recognizable image.
